Bonner made some nice plays but his poor effort on the boards killed us
He had a nice a basket and 3 towards the end of regulation but had no business whatsoever in OT. McDyess was glued to the bench when he was one of the better players for the Spurs tonight. Pop needs to consider sticking to the front office because his rotations are atrocious.

This is an EXCELLENT rebounding team, bonner is just not going to be able to hold his own. You can't have everything; dice does not give the spacing that Bonner does.
You have to sometimes count on your guys that are open. Jordan did more than once for the game winner in playoff games.
Bonner wasn't the reason that the Spurs lost IMO, although I agree he made some crucial mistakes..I do agree McDyess should have played more though..
Hill was absolutely horrible on both ends of the floor..Jefferson missed crucial rotations on Horford when Duncan went to trap on the baseline, leading to 2 clutch jump shots from Horford..stupid turnovers all over the place for the Spurs..Duncan with some stupid subtle mistakes and Manu choking down the stretch in regulation..refs were horrible in Atlanta's favor..
Oh, and obviously can't forget Centerpiece getting torched and missing 3 wide open 3s..

i'll reiterate what i've said before: Gregg Popovich has been the biggest dissapointment out of anyone this season. unbelievable how Bonner sees this much time. the announcers said the Spurs were losing second chance points 13 to 26. no sherlock.
Popovich is full of himself.
McDyess had 16 rebounds in 10 minutes, Bonner only hit 2 3's in 32.
It's no contest really. Pop is a moron
it's a disgrace that they're asking Duncan to be the sole defensive presence dow low.
This thread is so full of "wrong" it is not even funny.
They've been asking that from 2008 onward.
And I'm not saying Bonner is the biggest cultprit, but McDyess would've prevented a lot of 2nd chance points, and in a game that went to OT, that's huge.
I also agree that Hill and Jefferson sucked. I also love how Pop plays Hairston only for 4 min a game during the most crucial possessions, but refuses to give him enough time to get any rhythm going.
No, it's not, Bonner was so invisible after regulation that the Spurs were playing 4 on 5 out there. Jefferson and Hill didn't help much, but when you're relying on Matt Bonner to play 30+ minutes you deserve nothing but the lottery.
Yes, it is.
It does make sense, when getting murdered on the offensive boards, to play small lineups with a guy who gets 6 rebounds total at PF and sit a guy who got 10 boards in 16 less minutes. I mean, ya gotta spread the floor.
Not really, Spurs got skull ed on the offensive glass & McDyess was a rebounding machine in his limited minutes, you put McDyess over Bonner and Atlanta don't get that many offensive put backs.
FALSE.
One must spread the floor.
So true.
By no means am I saying I don't want Bonner in there, but McDyess should of gotten some of his minutes.
Bonner was not even close to the problem. You put Dice in and you lose points on offense. It all adds up.
There were problems, but to say the Spurs lost bc of too much Bonner is very off base.
But Bonner isn't Ray Allen, did you see how badly he clanked that last 3 with the perfect pass from Duncan? The Spurs were brutal on 3's most of the night, I'd sacrifice 2 threes so I could get additional defensive boards instead of giving up 40 offensive rebounds because my PF gets as many boards as my SF (Jefferson).
We were getting worked on the glass that entire second half, yet Popp still chose to play Bonner all the minutes that he did. So typical.
FALSE.
Centerpiece had to play a majority of the 4th. With Jefferson in there too there is no room for people who rebound.
No no no, The Spurs gave up like 20 points because of offensive boards, McDyess could've given the Spurs more possessions. It's not like Bonner had 25 points, but only got 2 rebounds, he was useless. He had no business in OT, whatsoever.
go **** yourselves.

You need to check your sarcasm-o-meter.
Blaming Bonner, Bogans and Pop are what all the kids are doing.
McDyess > Bonner, even when you need "spread the floor"
D > Offense
